Agnes DeRouen in the KPLC newsroom with a look at what we're working on for 7News@Noon.

An arrest has been made in connection with that bomb threat called in to LSU early this week. We're getting reports that the suspect is a 42-year-old Baton Rouge man who is not an LSU student.

Also today, we'll tell you why the Southern Poverty Law Center has filed a lawsuit against the Vermilion Parish Sheriff, but the action may also have implications for Sheriffs in 14 other parishes – including Allen. It has to do with the release of public documents that the Center claims may reveal abuse of immigrants rights.

We'll also tell you about a controversial therapy for humans – using stem cells to repair damaged tissue – that's being used in veterinary medicine. It seems stem cell therapy is revolutionizing the way dogs are treated.

Plus, lots of news from the world of aircraft. As the shuttle Endeavour makes its way to Los Angeles in a final flight, we take a look at its future. You can see a slideshow of this morning's flight across the south HERE. We're also looking at a new future for a Russian plane shot down during World War II. It had been left for scrap, but the historic aircraft is now getting a new life.

Dry conditions are coming in to our area, and Ben tells me we'll see more of that throughout the day. Highs will only warm up to the 80's this afternoon, as the coolest air of the week moves in by tonight. How cool will it get? Ben's preparing his weathercast right now, so be sure to tune in for his full, live and local forecast at noon.

Remember, you can always watch us online at kplctv.com and on air. We hope you enjoy the beautiful day!

It's a major headache Prien Lake Elementary parents have been dealing with for the past three days--traffic. The new access road that Calcasieu Parish Superintendent Karl Bruchhaus says is finally finished was suppose to help fix that problem, but some parents are still struggling with the traffic. Even if it's only an inch, parent Amy Jackson was excited just to be moving. "Last year I was safe by leaving my job downtown by... 2:30," said Jac...

High grass and weeds can be hiding places for pests like rodents and snakes, and they can breed mosquitoes. That's why Lake Charles resident Raymond LeDay wants to know why billion-dollar company Entergy doesn't cut its grass. The Southeast corner of Highway 171 and Fitzenreiter Road is a large tract of land. Much, if not most of it, is owned by Entergy.
